Domaine Coillot

Bernard Coillot created his eponymous domaine back in the Swinging Sixties. His son Christophe has now been running it for a couple of decades and we have been working with him since the very early days of the company. Christophe has around 11 hectares of vines, mostly in Gevrey-Chambertin and Marsannay. The domaine is blessed with quite a lot of old vines which results in low yields and an innate concentration of juice, allowing Christophe to be quite gentle in his vinification. In fact, the deep colours of his wines can be quite deceptive as they are gained from the large percentage of small berries rather than from excessive extraction. The wines are full of fruit but also full of life and charm. Farming is done pretty much organically, although the domaine is not certified.
